This is supported in the Import from Excel capability. You can specifiy which Folder(s) you want the part created in. Note the following example there are parts being created in the base folder and a folder called Design. If Design did not exist it will be created during the Import process.

While this makes it slightly easier, it seems like about the same amount of work because we would have to go through every folder and fill in the information for every part. There isn't a way to upload the main folder and have each subfolder be automatically created and the parts within those folders be uploaded?

Also, how does this excel import the part file, I don't see where you specify the location of the part on your computer or server.
